[PATCH 03/27] perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

[Wang Nan]

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.

Instead of introducing evsel to evlist during parsing, events selected
by eBPF object files are appended separately. The reason is:

 1. During parsing, the probing points have not been initialized.

 2. Currently we are unable to call add_perf_probe_events() twice,
    therefore we have to wait until all such events are collected,
    then probe all points by one call.

The real probing and selecting is reside in following patches.

Commiter note:

Testing if the event parsing changes indeed call the BPF loading
routines:

  [root@felicio ~]# ls -la foo.o
  ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory
  [root@felicio ~]# perf record --event foo.o sleep
  libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory
  bpf: failed to load foo.o
  invalid or unsupported event: 'foo.o'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  [root@felicio ~]#

Yes, it does this time around.
